Bad Boy by Jordan Silver Read Free Book Online Page B

into my new career. Tonight though I
didn’t give a fuck, I picked that fucker up and threw him across the street.
Jacqueline called out to me but I stopped her with a raised hand. “Don’t move
remember?” She’d started to walk towards me. I walked over to him and stood
over his dazed form. He started mouthing off about what he was going to do to
me but I had just the thing to shut him up. Even though this was a two-bit town
in the middle of nowhere I’m sure they’d got the memo. I made sure of it.

 
    Jacqueline

 
    Oh no not again, I
was too scared to even move, I’ve never seen anyone get thrown that far except
on TV. I was sure this was not going to turn out good. Jake pulled something
from under his shirt. I couldn’t see what it was because it was dark. I know it
wasn’t a gun because it was hanging from a chain around his neck, but whatever
it was it had Deputy Culver receding in fear.
    “You ever come near
her again it’ll be that last fucking thing you ever do. Now get the fuck gone.”
Deputy Culver jumped to his feet and ran to his car while Jake walked cool as a
cucumber back to me. “You know he’s only going to run to daddy Jake.” And what
do you expect him to do Jackie, kill him? Yes, yes I do. Kill the little sneak
and bury his ass out here in the woods. Great now you want your new husband to
commit murder. “Don’t worry about that I have to face him sometime.” And why
did it seem like he was just chomping at the bit for that one?

 
    We reached mom’s
house and I could see that she was still worrying when we got off the bike.
“Baby you have nothing to worry about. That ring on your finger means that I
fight all your battles from now on okay.” Damn I could look at her face all day
she has this way of looking at me as though I’m the answer to her every prayer.
Taking her hand I led her into the house. “Mom where are you?” I heard a scream
and then she came running from her room in the back. She came up short when she
saw Jacqueline’s hand clasped in mine but then she caught herself and came
forward to hug me. “You bad boy why didn’t you let me know you were coming?” I
pushed her shoulders back so I could look down at her. “I wanted it to be a
surprise and so is this. Mom meet your new daughter in law.” She was shocked to
say the least and looked back and forth between us. “You mean you two…” I
lifted my wife’s hand with the ring and showed her. “Oh Jake.” She started
wringing her hands and it pissed me the fuck off that even my own mother was
still afraid of that sanctimonious asshole. “Don’t worry mom everything’s going
to be fine.” I hugged her again to reassure her and then led them both into the
house. Jacqueline was a little shy and unsure of herself but I knew she would
overcome that soon enough. I was going to have a hell of a time on my hands
undoing all the shit her fuck of a sperm donor had done.
    Mindy showed up ten minutes
later and the women got to yakking about the ring and the wedding and I had to
hear a lecture from my mother about weddings and what they mean to young girls
and shit. Not long after I heard the sound of the engine that I’d been
expecting pulling up outside. They all got quiet and stared towards the door.
I’m sure the events of three years ago were uppermost on all their minds. “I’ve
got it.” I walked purposefully towards the door and opened it to a pissed off
Gary Willoughby. “There something I can do for you?” Puffed up asshole was
still trying to look down his nose at me even though I was a good six inches
taller. “I understand that my daughter’s in there I’ve come to take her home.”
I folded my arms and looked down at him blocking his way. “She’s not going
anywhere with you, anything else?” He got huffy and stepped towards me, oh
please do; just once throw the first punch. “Now see here, now apparently you
didn’t hear me last time…”
    “I have no interest
in anything you
